Santa Barbara’s Center for Body Contouring

Schedule Consultation

Welcome

Our Center provides state of the art body sculpting for a great variety of men and women utilizing both surgical techniques and non-surgical technologies. It is our hope that you will use the information here to become well informed about the procedures of VASER liposuction, CoolSculpting, and surgical body contouring as Dr. Lowenstein performs them at his Montecito Plastic Surgery Center in Santa Barbara.

Dr. Lowenstein is the only practice in the Santa Barbara area to provide both VASER liposuction and and CoolSculpting cryotherapy techniques of body contouring, in addition to the ability to shrink skin with J-Plasma. These cutting edge modalities span the non-invasive to minimally invasive range of fat removal and enable effective treatment for patients ranging from fitness experts hoping to lose a small bulge and sculpt their body, to women hoping to avoid an abdominoplasty but gain significant improvement in the appearance of their abdomen. These technologies are known for amazing results with easy recovery and no or minimal downtime. For patients who have experienced significant weight loss or who may have undergone previous surgery to lose weight Dr. Lowenstein also provides true expertise in surgical excision to contour the skin to the new body underneath.

Patients come from all over the world for Dr. Lowenstein’s personalized approach to whole body rejuvenation, utilizing the most advanced yet proven technologies and procedures to optimize patient care. Meticulous body contouring techniques are the hallmark of Dr. Lowenstein’s approach in Santa Barbara, but the process begins with the thorough education that patients can begin to obtain here. You will find information on CoolSculpting, liposuction, abdominoplasty, body lifts, arm lifts, and thigh lifts in the pages of our website, but the most comprehensive and individualized discussion will come with your consultation with Dr. Lowenstein.

I highly recommend Dr. Lowenstein. I have had two different cosmetic procedures and I am extremely pleased with the... results. He and his staff are professional, honest, personable, and caring. He is extremely thorough and puts the health and safety of his patient first. I did a lot of research and had many different consultations between SLO and SB. I chose Dr. Lowenstein because he demonstrated the above stated qualities I was looking for in a surgeon. His prices are fair, results are beautiful, and a bonus is all of the procedures are done in his office! From the office staff Audrey & Christina to the amazing nurses Shelley, Jody, and of course Dr. Lowenstein you won’t be disappointed. Love & Lightread more

Dr Lowenstein and his staff are fabulous. I am 4 months post op for breast augmentation and I love my new body so... much. My implants fit my body type and frame perfectly and the surgery and recovery was seamless. I interviewed a couple other local surgeons and loved the privacy and easy location of Montecito Plastic Surgery. Everyone from the front desk to the anesthesiologist was super nice, comforting and available. My only wish is that I had given myself this gift 10 years ago! I feel so confident and my clothes fit perfect. 10/10 all day!read more

From beginning to end, Montecito Plastic Surgery is the BEST! The office staff has always been so polite and thorough.... Dr. Lowenstein was absolutely FANTASTIC! He was so direct and really helped me manage my expectations on what was possible. I have had large breasts my entire life and have always wanted a breast lift and reduction. He walked me through the entire process, the recovery, what to expect, he even encouraged me to NOT receive unnecessary procedures (lipo, tummy tuck, etc). He likes to go with the most natural look possible.I wish I did this sooner! My scars are almost impossible to see, sensation was not lost and the shape is perfection! I highly recommend MPS for all your needs! Do yourself a favor and book a consultation today!read more

I am really grateful for the care that Dr. Lowenstein and his team provided me throughout (and after) my surgery! At... our initial consultation, I was convinced he was the best doctor I would come by to give me natural-looking results. He took my entire lifestyle into consideration before creating a surgery plan individually tailored for my needs. His entire staff is kind and professional. I was shocked at how quick my recovery time passed by, and I was in minimal pain after surgery without having to take heavy pain killers! I would give this team more stars if I could 🙂 Thank you a million times over!!!!read more

I trust the outcome of everything she does wholeheartedly, I love her gentle approach, she takes the time to listen to what you want to achieve, without imposing. You never have to worry about walking out looking like something totally different than what you had in mind! She is definitely my go-to for fillers!read more

Dr. Lowenstein performed my migraine surgery in Santa Barbara. I traveled from Denver, where Dr. Lowenstein saw me for... my appointments to have the surgery in California. I would absolutely and unequivocally recommend the Dr. and his amazing team. Shout out to Jeanie V. who helped me make arrangements. My case is complex and without easy solutions. I took a lot of care and did a lot of research into options. In the end, I can’t live the way my head is and he is the absolute best person to get me back to normal function. If you’re thinking about this - don’t wait. Take your life back. You don’t have to live in migraine drugs. Dr. Lowenstein will give it his all. He is an amazing man, and I’m so lucky to have found his team and this surgery.read more

Breast augmentation is something I’ve considered for many years but never found the right balance of circumstances;... timing, finances and most importantly, a surgeon whose work reflected exactly what I was looking for - natural and classy and not at all fake-looking.When I saw Dr. Lowenstein’s natural results in the before & after gallery, I knew that it would be worth the drive from Orange County to Santa Barbara and I wasn’t disappointed!I am in love with the results. Dr. Lowenstein absolutely nailed it.I was also really impressed with the Anesthesiologist, Tim who was very professional and was able to put me under without any nausea when I woke up.From the consultation through to surgery and follow-up appointments, Dr. Lowenstein and the team were committed to educating me, answering my questions and making sure I was informed and comfortable.

Prior to my visit at Montecito Plastic Surgery I had consultations with various Surgeons in and out of town, and I have... to say that by far, Dr. Lowenstein and his staff are the absolute best! Dr. Lowenstein is amazing! I had a consultation with him and explained the look I was going for (breast augmentation) and he knew EXACTLY what I wanted. He was very clear about risks and complications, needless to say I KNEW I was in good hands. Susanne (the RN) has great bedside manner and she, along with Dr. Lowenstein, detailed the procedure from beginning to end. They answered any and ALL of my questions and concerns without hesitation. Ruthie (the patient coordinator) did a wonderful job walking me through the day of the procedure and setting up my follow up appointments. Not once did I feel like “just another patient” everyone was so caring and made me feel comfortable. I LOVE my results! Most people would never even guess I had a breast augmentation! They look so natural and proportionate to my body shape and size. I 100% recommend Dr. Lowenstein and his team to anyone that is searching for top notch care!read more
